Salt Spring Blizzard Dec 21, 2008

The third bone-chilling hit! With the wind chill it felt like little knives in your face!

By far, chains on tires were the only way to get around.

Just think, in a month or two I'll be able to where my Hawaiian shirts again!!

Actually, some islanders secretly where them under their Parkas!

I filmed this 16:9 with my HD camera, but the aspect reflected here seems a little off.
